Just picked up my ABP/Ebony/5AT last Wednesday, and I have about 300 miles on it so far.
I'm noticing the car drifts to the left.
Could this be as simple as improper tire inflation (I haven't checked this yet) or is the car out of alignment? Acura of Boston can't look at it until next week.
Anyone else have this problem upon delivery?

 

yup, i had imbalanced tires and misalignment. my steering wheel shook left/right when i went around 70 and my tsx drifted to the right. i took it to the dealer and they rebalanced all four tires and performed a realignment.

the service dude said the imbalanced tires were due to the factory and the misalignment was due to the tires being hitched when it was transported...of course they should've checked all this in the car prep process but honestly dont really mind since i got a tsx loaner

 

Acura will do a free alignment within the first 12 mos./12000 miles. I'll have mine done around the 10000 maintenance.

 

tire presure will cause some poor handling as you point out... check that.

 

thanks, dabuda2004 (& miner & DEVO as well)
So it is possible to have a brand new car with imbalanced, incorrectly inflated tires and misalignment. I'll now make sure these are checked out and corrected to my satisfaction.
Proves to me once again the value of this website.

In all other respects I'm loving this car!

 

my tsx was like that too. it drifted to the right..

 

same her.....realligned at the dealer

 

mine to the left a bit. I only have about 400 miles on it, but I'll be taking it into the dealer soon...

 

mine as well... I've had it aligned TWICE!! Looks like a common problem.

 

I just took my tsx for an alignment last week.....now it's perfectly straight.

 

Same thing, to the left. The dealer will be fixing it this week.

 

Stop ruuning into curbs

 

I keep running over Republicans - could that cause alignment problems?

 

Here we go with the political debate. Bring in the Admin now!!

 

with all this 'drifting' left and right - I couldn't resist

 

No curbs... just those annoying giant potholes!
